Mission Statement

The overall mission of the Center for HPV Research is to improve understanding of HPV transmission and infection, and prevention of HPV infection and its consequences.

Under the leadership of Professors Gregory Zimet and Dennis Fortenberry of the Department of Pediatrics, the Center for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Research at IUPUI fosters cohesion and collaboration among investigators pursuing HPV-related research. This group of scholars represents a growing synergy between the disciplines of medicine, health marketing, psychology, and public health and will capitalize on IUPUI’s remarkable culture of collaborative and interdisciplinary research, establishing a world-class center for HPV research, research training, and research translation.
